Twenty Brothers of Christian Instruction from the Democratic Republic of Congo gathered in Dungu for the Annual Retreat and Formation in Financial Management Tools.
Two Religious Sisters from the Congregation of the Franciscan Sisters of the Holy Family joined the Brothers to experience that Spiritual Time together. For six full days, from July 6th to 13th, 2025, Reverend Father François BAKULU, Religious of Saint Vincent de Paul (RSV), Preacher, spoke with the Participants on the Theme: “Pilgrims on the Path of Fraternal Life.” That was a way to prepare the Brothers to properly live the Theme proposed by the General Council for the Next School Year.
